Katrina ducks back but is caught in the shoulder by the tip of the blade, spraying blood and lurching her to one side. The wound could have been worse, even fatal, but the damage was done.
Deciding that a ranged or even far attack was useless against the sword, Katrina decides to use a less conventional tactic. Summoning all the strength she can she leaps and grabs onto the large man's armor, tackling him over and retaining a firm hold on his clothing, a dagger held against him... waiting for the resulting fall backwards...
